eNom completes BulkRegistrar acquisition

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

eNom has completed its purchase of BulkRegistrar, making it the world’s second largest registrar.

eNom’s acquisition of BulkRegistrar comes after eNom itself was purchased by Demand Media earlier this year. Demand Media is a recently formed domain acquisition company headed by a former MySpace founder. It competes with the like of iREIT, Internet Real Estate Group, and BuyDomains.

After the acquisition eNom has 6.8M domains under management. The acquisition gives eNom access to a number of corproate clients that use BulkRegistrar’s portfolio management tools. BulkRegistrar has an exclusive expiring domain contract with SnapNames…it will be interested to see if eNom tries to cancel this contract so it can offer the domains through its own ClubDrop. Contracts frequently have cancellation provisions in the event of an acquisition.

Now, if eNom can just shake these allegations of aiding a terrorist organization :)
